Knowing the landmarks on the ramus of the mandible is of paramount importance to perform the surgery without causing damage to the neurovascular bundle.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n This study was conducted on 85 dry adult mandibles of unknown sex and age. The distances were measured from the anatomical reference points (anti-\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n and MF) using digital callipers.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The distance from the anti-\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n to the anterior border of the ramus (A) was significantly longer on the right side (14.91 mm) than on the left side (14.5 mm). There was a significant difference in mean distances between the anti-\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n and MF of both the sides (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2264 0.005). No significant difference was noted in the distances between the\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n and the Anti-\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n , observed for the posterior (B,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.75) and the inferior margin of the mandible (D,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.54). However we found correlation of vertical distances of anti-Lingula with Lingula and MF exhibited moderate positive correlation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n \n The IANB is prone to damage during mandibular surgery. Using anti-\n Lingula<\/jats:italic>\n alone as a reference point is not guaranteed, but it is still an important anatomical landmark for the surgeon to operate.\n <\/jats:p>\n
